Seed Stitch Baby Beanie Using Lang Mille Colori Baby
The Design
The Seed-Stitch Baby Beanie, an adorable little free pattern, is the perfect topper for your favorite wee person! There’s something so rhythmic about seed stitch—and it’s wonderful when combined with a soft, yummy yarn. Choose between a plain or rolled edge with a cute I-cord knot at the top.
The seed stitch of this wee beanie combines brilliantly with Lang Mille Colori Baby’s self-striping nature—the texture is fascinating! This fingering-weight yarn is true to its name (mille colori means ‘a thousand colors’ in Italian). Long washes of vibrant color twist into each other in its single-ply strand. Spun from springy, 100% Australian merino wool, Mille Colori Baby is as resilient as it is soft.
